Surely he can't be as good as Clyne though?

Clyne's going to be a tough act to follow, but I'm glad we've got a replacement in before Clyne's departure.

I'm inclyned to agree.

I'd rather let our youngsters learn their trade with us, it's more enjoyable seeing them come through to the first team.

Clyne was the best right back in the league last season and it was brilliant to have him. However, full back is a position that you really don't need star players in. Having a good player come in as a replacement is all that is needed and we seem to have achieved that.

That's relegation talk.

Who told you that ! He was appalling along with that other clown Jonathon Prr. The Football League show was more like the Comedy Awards with those pair of tossers as full backs.

 

[BensGrandad]

A simple question is Ward better than the player we have in the same position?

Without the luxury of a sugar daddy, clubs like us like to bring the kids through quicker.Thats why our academy is one of the best in the country, kids know they will get a better chance of 1st team football.

that's the ones, the same ones who managed to beat you 3-1 on your own patch.

You're obviously on a wind up. I think most of your fans would agree that he was the best right back.

Didnt the league revolve around 46 games not 1 freak result.

Not sure about the best, as I didn't see him enough to judge, but agree he's definitely up there.

It wasn't in defence you struggled last year though, is Freedman actually going to change tactics and attack a bit more? Or will that depend on which strikers you sign?

Name me a player who your academy has produced who you think entitles it to be ranked as "one of the best in the country" - please don't insult us by naming players who are in your current side whose best finish in the last 3 seasons has been 17th in the Championship and who may or may not be sold on.

Best right back, best keeper, best holding midfielder, best right winger, best young centre midfielder = 17th. The others must have been bloody awful!

Apparently Parr was their Player of The Year

We had very little depth and a lot of the first team got injured around the same time. Also, the best young centre midfielder missed half the year with a broken leg, and young is the important word there, he isn't the best midfielder in the league. Moreover, most of our best players are defensive. That is why we finished 17th. I think 13th or 14th would be more representative of how we did last year but an awful end plagued with injuries meant we slipped.

Yeah and if your Uncle had tits you would have been in the playoffs

Unlike you, I'm trying to have a realistic discussion. I said 17th was slightly lower than I felt our performances deserved. Next season I hope we will be in the top 10. Back to the original point though, it is good that we have signed a good right back to replace Clyne.

You would love an academy like ours, big Tone will stump up the money for your one, but it will be a few years before it would bear any fruit, so in the meantime, keep buying those CMS types
